Aerial Baggage Shifter. "
; An aerial Juggage transmitter has
been erected recently by the. London
and Southwestern Railway Company
at their Junction at Woking, and Is, we
understand. In the nature of on experi
ment, being It Is believed, the first
appliance of its kind used by .any rail
way company In tie kingdom. In
briefly describing it ' Engineering
states that on the up and down plat
forms are erected Iron towers, each
82 feet 0 Inches jp, height, and set In
blocks of concrete." Suspended from
tower to tower are four Spans of wire?
cable. The topmost cable, on which
the transmitter runs to and fro, is ex
ceptionally strong, and is capable of
bearing a strain equal to at least
twenty tons. The second cable keeps
the transmitter In position, and the
third and fourth cables,;, which,, are
much thinner and are In one length,
are for "paying out" and "returning."
Each span Is 110 feet long, and the
height of the transmitter above the
railway la 22 feet S inches. Attached
to the transmitter is an iron cage caps,
ble of holding half a ton at one time.
The whole is worked by hydraulic
power, the engine being, on the down
side. Above it is a small box in which
are the levers working the apparatus. ,
The transmitter is very rapid In its
working, taking only thirty seconds to.
deposit ten hundredweight of luggage
from one platform to the other. All
the experimental trials have been. It
Is said, most satisfactory and the
transmitter is now ready for use.
TOMMY'S T.BSS0N. .
I thought, when a. boy was old
enough to have a slate and book and
go to school he was big enough to take
care of himself and go the way that he
wanted to. So I did not go straight
down the road, as my mother told me;
but I climbed the fence to go across
the field. By and by something said,
"Bow-wow-wbw!" and there was a big
dog' running right, at tne, -. . Didn't I
run? Thlt dog almost caught me be
fore I got to the fence; and I tumbled
over, and scratched my arm and broke
my slate, and tore my clothes. : So
I had to go home to mamma. She
said, "Ah, Tommy boy people never
get too old to go in the right way In-,

A TRAGEDY
I I T HE night express was making
I its customary pause at Gran
I ; ; tliaui station while the tn
.' ".CJ:. "iglnog were chnTtgcd for the
next long ran, 100 miles, to York.
It wss not a. crowded train, as I
easily perceived when I alighted with
the rest to stretch my legs. Most of
the passengers had turned nuttoo, nnd
We lounged about,
other without keen li

I harV' sr ni myself, unu
I rpi ,-n-witliout paying particular
at-.ition to those nearest me. save In
be -vague, unconscious fashion that
ould hardly serve for lat recogni
tion. One man I noticed In the "next
carriage he and I alone were travel
ing "first," at any rate, in that part of
the train but do not think I should
have known bim again but for his
traveling cap ivlth the lappets tied
under bis -chin and his loose nlster
with a cape distinct facts In his ap
pearance, although they made .little
Impression on me at the time. , '
Then another matter claimed tny
notice., "There - were sudden cries,
"Now, sir, now! If you're going on,
look sharp, sir, please." I saw a man,
a laggard,' hurrying down the plat
form, puffing breathlessly in evident
distress, as- though the pace was too
"great for him. ,
He made straight for where I at,
but stopped one comportment short of
mine, and as the train was already
moving tbey bustled him In neck and
crop;--the signal was given, "Right,"
tbe whistle sounded, the engine driver
blew a response.- and we steamed
ahead full speed.
I felt .rather concerned about- this
neighbor and late arrival. His white
face, his staring eyeballs aud hanging
tongue told of great physical exhaus
tion, and I fancied thnt I heard a
groan as he tumbled Into his carriage.
Evidently he bad ran it very close
had come npon the platform at the
Very last moment, and hnd all but
missed his train.. He had only just
Joined It, of tbnt I felt sure, for I bad
not observed him on our departure
from King's Cross nor here at Gran
tham," Why had lie been so anxious
to save bis passage and such peril to
himself? For be was III I made sure
be was 111 so sure that I threw down
my window and, leaning out, shouted
to the next compartment, asking 1?
.anything was wrong. . ' ,
No answer came, or It writ lost In the
rattle and turmoil of the express.
Once again I called out, having no
certainty that I could be heard, but
certain at Inst thnt I heard no reply.
Why should I worry further? i The
5ext compartment was not empty, th'
knew. If the newcomer was really
111 and wanted belp he could get It
from his traveling companion, the man
4a the loose Ulster and cap tied nnder
his chin, whom I believed to be In the
carriage with him. So I dismissed the
matter from my mind and sank back
among the cushions of my seat to rest
and be satisfied. ,
I must bare dozed off, but only for
a minute or two as I though, and I
seemed to be still asleep and dreaming
When again I beard a groan in the
next carriage. It was a perfectly vivid
and distinct Impression, as half wak
ing dreams sq often are. I could not
at tbe moment say whether what fol
lowed, was reality or a "figment , also
of my drowsy brain. What I heard
I have said was a groan fraught with
keen anguish; what I saw was quite
as clear, but still more extraordinary
ana unaccountable,- . - V
" The train had slowed; down and was
almost at a standstill'1, We were In a
tunnel; the lamps In the carriages
threw a strong light npon the brick
walls and reflected all that was going
on In. the - compartment next mine
(none of the others near had nny occu
pant), But in this tbe adjoining compart
ment two figures stood out plainly
men's figures, and one held the other
closely in his arms." More than this
I could not make out. I saw it clearly,
although but a brief space only, a few
seconds of time, for now the- truiu
moved on Tnpidly with Increasing
speed, and we ran ouf of the tunnel
The reflected scene of course disap
peared at once as completely as though
wiped off a slate. v
There was trouble next door, of what
nature It was impossible to guess, but
I felt that it must be ascertained forth
with. If it was a case of serious ill
ness then the one hate man wonld
surely ring the alarm bell and seek
6i!tnncc for the other; If it was fool
play he would make no sign. and,. Jit
then became my bounden duty to in
terpose without delay.
These thoughtsllrfslicd quickly
through my nilud. lid It seemed an
; age while I waited to resolve my
doubts. Probably no more thnn a few
seconds elapsed before I put my hand
to the signal and stopped the train.
I was first to get out, and hardly wait
ing the stoppage l.clnmbered along the
footboard and stood upon It, looking
into the carriage. -No
one was to be seen within.
"Quick, quick!" ,! cried to the guard
When he caiua up. "in here. Kome-

I thought the guard would have

to lay violent bands on me, and he re
peated that he meant to take me on

at any rate I shall walk back to Grant
ham by the line." Be so good as to
look after my tjjlngs in the next com
partment,'1' and with that I alighted
and left the guard rather crestfallen.
Within a few minutes, walking rap-
Idly, I re-entered tbe tunnel which had
been the scene of the strange incident,
and In less than half an hour I reached
the station. It was dimly lighted, for
the next express train, tbe 12.06 "up,"
Was nearly due. and there were several
officials upon tbe platform.
I went up to one, an inspector, and
briefly told him what had happened.
Dear,, dear! Of course. I remem
ber. That was Mr. Erasmus Bateman.
He belongs here a rich man, greatly
respected; bas the big stores In High
street. He was fn a hurry to catch
that train, for he was going down to
night for the great timber auction at
Hull to-morrow. He buys a lot for his
furniture factory that is, be did, I
suppose t ought to say;. Poor Mr.
Bateman! He was heavy, pverfat for
his age, and be ought not to have run
soTast," ....
"Would be be likely to cava much
money on him?" I asked."
"Why, yes; likely enoughT He was
his own buyer, and he always bought
for cash." . . - '
Here was a motive for foul play. I
aw tbe disappearance of this second
passenger explained. Bateman had
died suddenly almost In the other
man'g arms. . v ' . "
If evilly disposed It would be but the
matter of a moment for the latter to
get po'ssesslon of purse and pocket
book and all valuables everything, In
fact and make off, leaving the car
riage at once, even at tbe risk of bis
life. . . :' i'-'V" ,:v
It was a pretty, a plausible theory
enough, and I put It before the Inspect
or with the whole ot the facts.
"I'm Inclined to agree with you, sir,
always supposing there was any such
m," be replied. "Your runnel story
Is a big mouthful to swallow."
."There he goes," I whispered, clutch
ing at tbe inspector's arm and point
ing to the tails ot a check ulster dis
appearing into the booking office, "lie
must not sec me; he might rccoguuse
me as having been in the north ex
press. But go sharp's the word. Find
out where he's booking to and take a
ticket for me to the same place. Here
are a couple of sovereigns. You'll find
me In, the waiting room."
He came to me there, bringing a
ticket for King's Cross, the other
man's destination. , " i'
"Traveling up, no doubt, by the 12.00
midnight express, due in London at

"Mention my name; tell the ofllce to

"You will bear soon enough," said
Mountstuart, quietly. "In with you.

name at the station as Gregory Car

temptation had been irresistible when
be held the dead man in bis arms to
search and despoil bim, ; He thought
It was quite safe; no once could know
of his presence In the carriage, and
tbe sudden death would be attributed
to natural causes. "...v

was enough to secure bis conviction for

death had really been from - heart

seen was heard In court, and beard
with mixed feeling in which Incredul

MYSTERY OF A SPIDER'S SPINNING.
Bow JTtlSlHe Bnceasd In Drawing Bis
rrb 8 TaatT
How dl jaJer spin a .thread
from onelrtftifto auoTnfiT at a height
from the kround and theVis'rtf It so
tight? aslu a correspondent lq,ftiNew I
Century, i Every one who haaWSJ
wanted tnouga a country lane early in
tbe mofnlng bas felt the strained
threadunpon the face, and often these
'threads aro many yards long, but tbe
way In which It fs done remains a
mystery. He does not fly across, draw
ing the thread after him, for be bas
no wings. Neither does he descend to
tbe ground and then climb tbe opposite
bush, for this would lead to Immediate
and hopeless entanglement of the gos
samer filament. How then does be do
It?
M. Favler, a French scientist, bas dis
covered that a thread one yard long,
will support by Its own buoyancy in
the air, tbe weight of a young spider.
It would thus .be in tbe power of a
Juvenile to spin a thread of that length
and trust to air currents to carry It
across and attach It to an opposite bush
so that he himself could then pass over
and draw It tight. But many of these
threads; to Judge from their strength
and consistency, are not tbe work of
young spiders, and as every observer
knows, they are often many yards long
and drawn so tightly that the face is
Instantly aware of their presence when
breaking them.- --
Tbe work ls nearly always done in
tbe night time, so that observation Is
difficult. .
If tbe spider bas any human nature
In bis make-up and many of his habits
would lead us to suppose that he baa-
be would be gratified at the perplex
ity which be causes and would adver
tise bis performances as aealously aa
do less gifted human gymnasts and
even some popular preachers.

, These problems namely,- the origin

have, been and remain prominently
tbe subjects of anthropological Inves

an important part, enough has already
been achieved to warrant the hope that
in not a very far future but a little con.

aud they occupy, though probably
largely mixed with the Nahuau branch
of Tlahultecs, entire villages near and
in tbe mountainous country between
Cuautla and Cuernavnca, in tbe State
of Morelos. In this last-named region
there are In particular two large vll
lages, Tetelclngo and Ctinutepee, in
which the Aztec-Nahiinn descendants
not only speak the pure Aztec language
and know but little Spanish, but they
also preserve their ancient dress aud
ancient way of building their dwell
lug?. In both of these villages the na
tires are almost free from mixture
with whites.
To estimate the number of pure-blood
Aztce-Nahunn descendants still In ex
Istcnce Is very difficult. The Aztec
language Is still used by at least a mill
ion, probably more, of the natives of
Mexico. Harper's for Christinas.

HOW T6 dress effectively.
The girl with a pretty face and fig
ure la supposed by many to bave the
vantage of her plainer sister. This
doejfjot apply, nowever, in an cases,
for aJriy girl has been known to
look veryooSnary on some occasions,
while her plaineKlter at the same
time was attractlnglsuch attention.
This ls.understood ban observing
person, who can easily discern that
the plainer girl, feeling theVant of
that ; verjt desirable . Item uefluty
takes great can of the detail ofJier
appearance, .and-, gives conslderabl
thought to what is becoming to h
particular style of face and form' In
dividuality should ta tbe almT every
girl, for not until she h.oflfacquIred
this much desired trait doj she be
come Interesting. f "
'The girl with dark chestnut, halt
and eyes and clear whit compioxlon
Is fortunate, for she cawear almost
any color; ' but take-liway her clear
complexion and she will have , to be
careful -In her selection ot colors and
contrasts. Many girls, with the aid
of cosmetics, try to make their faces
suit their surroundings. .This is a
mistaken Idea; ; the . surroundings
should always he planned and arrang
ed to salt the face. A woman with a
sallow complexion and dull brown hair
and eyes has no reason whatever for
looking ugly. All she needs to do is
to affect dull reds and browns, and no
matter what other color shs Indulges
in, always have a touch of dull red or
brown somewhere, and she will find
her problem solved In the most satis
factory manner, She must give up all
ideas of striking contrasts, for to her
they are out of the question.
.V" 8treet Crossing Signals. .
United States Consul Warner at
Leipzig bas given the secretary of
state brief account of tbe system of
signaling at electric car crossings in
that city. "Until a few months ago,"
says be, "tbe method In vogue In this
city ot avoiding accidents at cross
ings of electric street railways was
either to station a flagman at the
crossings or to have the conductor
run forward to see if the other end line
was clear. An automatic signal lan
tern has been Introduced by the street
railway company which does away
with these inconvenient methods. Tie
lantern consists ot two boxes, arranged
one above the other, each having two
sides fitted with red and the other
two with green glass, the red being
above the green. The carl on one
line cause, the Incandescent lamps In
the upper box to burn; the cars on
the other line the lamps In the lower
one. This -causes, owing to the ar
rangement of glass in the boxes a
large green light to appear to the first
line, which indicates 'free passage,'
and a red light to the second line,
which means 'stop.' Signals are also
visible In daytime, as reflections shut
out the light of the sun, and the lan
tern la well lighted from the inside."
